9This book leaves a legacy for my family and other people. It is intended to let those that are broken hearted, in trouble, addicted and crying out for help know there is a better life. Hope is on the way. Hope is the confident expectation in something or someone. This book will show you there is hope if you want it. I almost loss hope but, two words in this book changed my life. Those same two words can change your life too. Rev. Ray N. Smith Sr. is the CEO of Brothers Keepers Ministries Inc. He and his wife Karlyn founded BKM to help men addicted to drugs and alcohol. Our mission statement is to teach and train men to live successful lives.
